La Mexicana Grocery Store

Best food in West Bend!If you have not stopped in and experienced this establishment, you certainly are missing out. After returning from San Diego, this is the first restaurant that can offer the kind of service and food quality that anyone would come to expect after living in a place of such abundance. The seating area is more than sufficient, and food can be ordered to go. The groceria is great. My personal favorites are the coconut bars and my daughter loves the tamarindo candies. Everything here is great, so don't hesitate to go.

A food was so authentic made from scratch!!A++++ service. Owners are so friendly and kind. A. Vibe??? Am I in Mexico?

Best Street Tacos in Washington County!! Hands Down. Super simple seating area where you help yourself to a beer or soda from the cooler.

This has been a bookmark for a while so while in the area I stopped over for lunch. The place is dirty and dingy looking was my first impression. The place is all La Preferida products for the most part with next to no fresh meat or veggies. The place has a small kitchen and dining room in the back. The guy working the the kitchen was not very friendly at all and most of the menu was not available because the first couple items I tried to order was not available including the meats. Basically all I could order was tacos, one steak and Al pastor on corn tortillas.I ordered one steak and one Al pastor taco on corn tortillas with onion, cilantro and cheese. First off I was the only person in the store so how they fu%k up my order is amazing because my tacos had no cheese. The tacos were super average with neither meat better than the other and cooked to a crisp with the steak full of gristle.The whole experience was not that great and I wish I would have went somewhere else while in the area.

So gooddddd. I'm from California and I felt like I was back at home! The carne Assad tacos are literally so good. Definitely recommend. ^-^

I live & work in West Bend and have driven past this little hole in the wall more times than I could ever count. I totally regret having judged this book by just the cover. What an amazing locally operated little restaurant counter with some of the best mexican food I have ever experienced. The restaurant is located at the back of a small mexican grocery. There's a small dining area with about 6 tables. On our visit there was an older husband/wife manning the store and kitchen. The service was very slow, but that was ok. There are soda coolers near the dining area and it was self serve while your food is prepared. Absolutely one of the best chip/salsa combinations I've ever had. I had pork tacos and steak tacos and the meat was tender with phenomenal flavor. Each taco was filled with meat and I didn't find a single bite of gristle as is common in steak taco meat. A generous portion of rice and beans. I don't do beans, but my wife grew up on the south side of Milwaukee and she said the flavor stood up to anything she's had in the past. So sorry I've only driven by until now, but no more. A definite new stop on my list.

I think someone else said it- it's a hidden gem. This is a mom & pop small grocery with a fantastic diner in the back. Everything is made to order and no joke- we loved every.single. bite.We only had tacos on this visit but tried several different types: chicken, pork and steak. They were all delicious. I'd rank preference in the order listed. Rice was light and fluffy with a delicate flavor. Beans were made with black beans - rich with a subtle sweetness to them. Can't wait to come back and try more on the menu.

You just can't beat an old school Mexico market. Never disappointed always a great deal.

Omg!!! Feels like you are in Puebla Mexico and not West Bend Wisconsin!!! Place is the best authentic food around!!! Only wish they had cervesa and margaritas!!!!

I love the little hidden restaurant in the back! Great authentic Mexican food. Sometimes it can be a little difficult to understand what they're saying to me, but it all ends up working out in the end!
